Nothing in there for me either, pretty much as expected.

Road tax on highest-polluting vehicles up to £300 and to £400 from April next year. The least polluting vehicles while have their duty cut to £35.Can anybody elaborate on the way this works? Is it your engine size, or is it based on vehicle MPG figures or some other criteria.

It will be whatever method yields the most amount of coppers for his Treasury (call me a cynical old fecker).
The sooner I collect my pension, the sooner I will sadly wave goodbye to the country of my birth; thanks to morally bankrupt government and PC laws/legislation.

It goes off the emissions based on the manufacturers figures.
If your vehicle is more than about three years old, the manufacturers will probably not have issued those figures.
You'll stay at the old rate.
Try this out...I filled it in fairly accurately and it turns out that as a family we are slightly up on the deal:

Blimey..gotta be wrong!!
Take a look at your payslip at the end of the month. DT_Xtremez_42:
Add up the Income Tax you have payed, plus the NI contributions. Then look back at the month overall and add on the Council Tax, VAT, Petrol Fuel Duty (+ VAT already paid), tax on your Savings and VAT you have paid on your everyday purchases. DT_Xtremez_42:
If like me you get an RAF pension, you can kiss one third of that off in tax too[/]. I was comparing my RAF paychit from 23 years ago and I now pay in tax what I earnt as a Cpl thenDT_Xtremez_08:
The worrying thing is non of the other political parties are highlighting this tax burden to the Public. DT_Xtremez_25:
you must obvioulsy be earning too much I only pay 22% which is the current rate of tax. If the tories had of been in power they would have done the same, they are all as bad as each other, except when Maggie was in who was the worst premier ever, she did more to split this country in two than any other premier.
Lets hope labour can abolish the house of lords.
